Metro train frequencies overnight on New Years Eve shows that Melbourne has the infrastructure and the rolling stock to handle the all-day all-week train service a city of 5 million actually needs.

(except Upfield line where duplication would help a lot)

Want to catch a Sunday morning train in Melbourne? You'd better hope the timetable matches your plans... or it might be easier to drive☹️

Want to catch a Sunday morning train in Sydney? No problem, every line runs every 10-15 minutes.

On Sunday mornings until about 10am, much of Melbourne has the least frequent suburban trains in Australia.
The State Government is dragging its heels on public transport service investment. Simply not good enough for a city of 5 million. #MoreServicesPlease

🚏🚌 Great to see politicians paying attention to buses - the only public transport in a lot of areas of Melbourne and Victoria. The evidence from past upgrades is clear: better bus services will get more people on board. #MoreServicesPlease

Don't miss your train on a Sunday morning - you wait up to 40 minutes for the next one on the Sandringham, Sunbury, Craigieburn, Upfield, Mernda and Hurstbridge lines.
Completely inadequate for a city of 5 million. #Melbourne #MoreServicesPlease

The State Govt's plan to concentrate new #Melbourne housing around railway stations makes a lot of sense - but with gaps of up to 40 minutes between trains, and buses even worse, car dependence will still be an issue unless more frequent services are provided. #MoreServicesPlease

It's the weekend, and people have places to go. But hourly suburban buses in many areas of #Melbourne mean that public transport isn't a viable option for most people. (And it's even worse in regional Victoria)

Whether you were headed for mass or the marathon this morning, #Melbourne's trains don't make it easy to get there on time.
Despite plenty of demand, about half the Metro lines run only every 40 minutes until 10am on Sundays. #MoreServicesPlease

It's not even 9pm, and on one of Melbourne's busiest bus routes, the last service has already departed.
And not just this route. For many suburbs across our city, public transport has stopped for the night.
Are we really a world city? #MoreServicesPlease
